DEVELOPMENT consultancy Pegasus Group has established its first dedicated team in Scotland in a bid to strengthen the firm’s urban design, architecture and masterplanning offering.
Based in Edinburgh, the five-person team is led by Mike Ward, senior director – design lead, who has over 20 years’ experience in delivering urban design, architecture, and masterplanning projects across Scotland and northern England.
He joins from Stantec/Barton Willmore and will lead a Scottish-based team that also comprises Hamish Jack (associate urban designer), Sarah McKenzie (principal urban design), Callum Elliot-Muir (senior urban designer), and Quitterie d’Hacourt (senior urban designer).
In the last year, Pegasus revealed the business has seen ‘significant growth’, expanding its Scotland presence with a new Glasgow office. It has also made key senior appointments to strengthen multidisciplinary capabilities across design, planning, environment, economics, and building surveying.
Mike Carr, executive director at Pegasus Group, said, “Pegasus has been looking for opportunities to expand our expertise in Scotland. But this is the first time we have had a design team directly based in Scotland, so it’s a big step in the evolution of our business. The team is already supporting a range of projects across Scotland and northern England.”
Mike Ward added, “We’re excited to be working with a business that is committed to high-quality design and innovative problem solving. Pegasus has the perfect blend of expert skills needed to support our clients through all areas of the design and planning process. Our masterplanning ethos has always been vision-led and collaborative. That will be the approach that underpins all the projects we take forward as we bring our ambitions for high-quality, sustainable places to life. We want to create environments that everyone in the community will enjoy and feel proud of.”
